Since our inception, Verve Romance (formerly Book+Main) has had one foundational goal: to help readers discover new authors. We were the first technology company to build a first-in-class, robust search engine where readers could search by romance tropes and subgenres to discover author-selected excerpts that matched their mood. A discovery tool that leveled the playing field. A tool based on writing and subject; not cover, author name, or best seller status. Having grown to over 4K published romance authors and registered readers in over 150+ countries, we wanted to take our matchmaking skills to the next level. In the summer of 2023, we launched Book Club Connection. A tech-enabled solution that matches book clubs to titles based on dozens of touch points including preferred genres, subgenres, tropes, and triggers. Book Club Connection intelligently connects titles to vetted, interest-matched book clubs ready to discover new authors.

There are innovative, exciting companies that are poised for growth in emerging markets. However, these companies lack access to the capital required to fuel their growth. VestedWorld is a venture capital fund focused on investing in those companies. The three primary countries that we invest in are Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria. We also consider opportunities in four secondary countries: Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. We focus on three sectors that we view as essential to the growth of any developing country: Agribusinesses, Consumer Products, and Technology-enabled businesses. We believe that we can have a profound impact on the development of the economies where we invest and the people that our portfolio companies employ. We also deliver competitive, risk-adjusted returns to our investors.
